Punctuality is very important. Please make sure your child leaves home early enough to be on time for the start of their day.

New School Day and Directed Study in School
For students attending Directed Study they should arrive in school before 8.30am. The school gates are open from 08:10am - 08:25am.
All other students not attending Directed Study should arrive in school before 9.15am. The school gates are open from 08:55am - 09:10am.
Students arriving after these times should enter school through the main entrance and will be classed as late.
* Directed Study will be part of our compulsory school day. i.e. students will be told when they must attend and what they will be doing. However, not all students will attend directed study everyday, and the programme will change through the academic year.
Many of our students have shown us through lockdown that they do not need to be supervised in order to study independently. Other students have shown that they require additional support and our directed study period will allow us to focus our resources on those who need it the most. It will also provide a platform for some of our ‘catch up’ provision.
